DᴇWALT

Battery Terminology

Voltage:

• Measure of Battery Energy (Engine Size)
• As Voltage Increases, Power & Runtime Increase

Amp-Hour:

• Measure of Battery Capacity (Gas Tank Size)
• As Amp-Hour Increases, Run-time Increases
Nicd / NiMh

Pros:

• Large user base
• Power & Run-time
• Durability

Cons:

• Old technology
• Heavy & Limits tool ergonomics
Li-lon

Pros:

• Virtually No Self-Charge
• Smaller & Lighter
• High Capacity
• Advanced Technology
• Breadth of Line: 200+

Cons:

• Temperature

Watt-Hour:

• Measurement of energy over time. Energy density (Octane Level)
• Calculated by Voltage x Amp hours
• Different AH, Equal Size, Subtle Weight Change

Cycle Life:

• Measure of Battery Life – (# Recharges)

What is Brushless?

Brushed

Brushless

Brushless vs. Brushless Technical Review

Brushless

1. Carbon brushes deliver the power from the switch to the commutator
2. The physical contact of the brushes causes system inefficiency through energy loss, friction, and heat build up
3. Brushes wear occasionally needing maintenance and replacement
1. Power is delivered to the stationary electromagnets through electronic circuitry
2. The friction point is removed creating a more efficient use of the power and less power loss equating to more runtime
3. The wearable components are removed requiring less maintenance

Benefits of Brushless

Better Overall Efficiency

Higher Power Density

Increased Control

Longer Motor Life

Made in USA – DEWALT

What does “Built in the USA” mean?

DEWALT understands that buying American products and building the American economy are important to our customers. DEWALT is now offering a selection of more than 600 different power tool, hand tool, and accessory products that are being built right here in the USA, using materials and components from all over the world.

What does “global materials” mean? Where do those materials come from?

DEWALT is a global manufacturer and distributor of power tools. We currently manufacture our tools in the US, Mexico, Brazil, China, Italy, the UK, and the Czech Republic, among other locations, and our products are built with materials and components from all over the globe.

Why is DEWALT building products in the USA now?

DEWALT is a global brand with American roots. Our tools have always been serviced here in the USA, and a selection of our products has always been built in our US factories using global materials. Now we are expanding the number of tools we build in the USA using global materials.

Are the products that are built in the USA better quality or different than the products made in other

countries?

Our products that are built in the USA using global materials maintain the same Guaranteed Tough quality our customers have

come to know and expect from DEWALT.
